Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine, 23e

Product Information

I have always been a fan of Davidson's and disappointed that for some reason or other that KC has always cornered the student market. Smart study tools such as note sharing and subscription, review mode, and Microsoft OneNote integration.

Clinical Examination overviews summarise the main elements for each system and now feature in the biochemistry, nutrition and dermatology chapters. In Old Age, In Pregnancy and In Adolescence boxes - highlight differences in the practice of medicine in these patient groups, and illustrate the interfaces between medical, obstetric and paediatric services. Part 1 'Fundamentals of Medicine' - provides an account of the principles of genetics, immunology, infectious diseases, population health, oncology and pain management, along with a discussion of the core principles behind clinical decision-making and good prescribing.Part 3 'Clinical Medicine'- covers the major medical specialties, each thoroughly revised and brought fully up to date. Davidson’s will serve readers everywhere as a core text that integrates medical science with clinical medicine, conveying key knowledge and practical advice in a highly accessible and readable format. Part 1 ‘Fundamentals of Medicine’ - provides an account of the principles of genetics, immunology, infectious diseases, population health, oncology and pain management, along with a discussion of the core principles behind clinical decision-making and good prescribing.

LI>In Old Age, In Pregnancy and In Adolescence boxes - highlight differences in the practice of medicine in these patient groups, and illustrate the interfaces between medical, obstetric and paediatric services.Most chapters begin with a two-page overview of the important elements of the clinical examination, including a manikin to illustrate the key steps in the examination of the relevant system. An expanded International Advisory Board of 38 members includes new members from several different countries. The book has won numerous prizes including being highly commended in the British Medical Association book awards. I still admire the delicate balance of conciseness, comprehensiveness, a touch of basic science such as pathophysiology and pointing out the salient clinical picture.
